Jacob Puls represents the 4th Generation at Runde Auto Group!

Jacob Puls of Runde Chevrolet

We are excited to welcome our newest salesperson at Runde Chevrolet in East Dubuque, Jacob Puls!  He joined our team recently after completing his college degree.

Jacob is the great grandson of founder Alfred Runde, thus a fourth generation Runde. He will be starting his career as a personal sales assistant to Tim Runde.

Jacob recently graduated from Augustana College in Rock Island, IL with a double major in Finance and Marketing, along with a minor in Economics.  Jacob loves sports and played football along side his twin brother Jared for four years at Augustana.

“I am a huge football fan and I love college basketball, but also enjoy watching the Blackhawks and Cubs,” he said. “I have been a Fighting Illini fan since my grandfather Paul Runde introduced me to them when I was a young kid and really follow the football and basketball teams closely. Besides that I enjoy spending time with my girlfriend and buddies whenever I can.”

He grew up in East Dubuque and has two brothers.

“My twin brother was my roommate throughout college,” Jacob said. “My younger brother also went to the same college and now works for a bank in Dubuque.  My dad works in the IT Department at Runde Auto Group so I get to see him every day. My mother is a Special Education Teacher at Carver Elementary. My whole family is big into sports.”

His favorite part of sales so far is meeting new people.

“I love interacting with the people here at Runde Chevrolet and getting to know them on a personal level,” he said. “It’s fascinating to talk with people about different topics like their lifestyles and hobbies.”

He recently leased a Chevrolet Malibu from Runde’s and said it is his favorite vehicle at the moment.

“The vehicle has lots of options and is a smooth ride,” Jacob said.
